Hungry viewers can claim a complimentary Doritos Locos Taco with thanks to the player that runs to a base they're not entitled to while the pitcher throws the ball to the home plate.

If a scorer credits the advance to them they've officially stolen a base.

Fans can claim the $2.29 menu item on November 1 between 2pm and 6pm or via the Taco Bell website and app

Taco-lovers can make plans to redeem their hand-held snack worth $2.29 - which comes loaded with seasoned beef, tomatoes, lettuce, cheese and reduced fat sour cream but is often upgraded with ingredients such as nacho cheese, guacamole, chicken and steak – only once the brand announces online that the promotion is valid.

Then on November 1 between 2pm and 6pm selected restaurants will be handing out the menu item to those who ask for it for free as long as stocks last.

While one taco per customer is available in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, the brand is making it easier to avoid long lines and score a free bite in 2018 by allowing participants to register online and via their app to claim the taco.
